Some of these are chains (some nationwide in the USA some possibly worldwide), some are regional (only found in some regions of the USA), some are only found in Arkansas and some are only found places other than Arkansas.
Alley Oops for their service and relatively cost effective - only know of one and it is in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Red Lobster for service and my ability to eat there when I was allergic to most everything other than fish and shellfish - nationwide in the USA far as I know.
Olive Garden for service and their all you can eat soup and bread sticks and salad that comes with your meal - nationwide in the USA I think.
Dairy Queen even though I cannot find it in Arkansas where I now live I have eaten at it in Texas and Florida.
WhatABurger for their big burgers - ate at those quite a few times when I lived in Texas.
Au Bon Pain at Crystal City Plaza III for their selection of pastries I ate there about once a week while I worked in the surrounding Crystal City buildings from August 27 1990 to October 15 1994. There are quite a few Au Bon Pain franchises in the Washington DC area, apparently, there are none in Arkansas.
